Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

With SFoG announcing their new coaster I figured I would see what I could get out of SFA through their facebook page about what, if anything, might be happening next season.

 

Me - "With Six Flags Over Georgia announcing their new for 2011 roller coaster today - any chance we'll hear some good news about next season from you as well?"

 

SFA - "Well I'm not going to deliver any bad news about next season... Today? yeah - not so much..."

 

 

So, with no BAD news coming, at least that should mean they won't be announcing the park is closing or something.

Check it again,I was the next person to reply to your post there as I was just on FB a few minutes ago.

 

I'm sure it's not a coaster as so far SFOG & SFNE announced their new coasters for next season on FB today & if SFA were in the running they probably would've done so by now as well.My best guess is they're getting the shaft as usual.

Can't believe that six flags new england would build the dark night like three years after the first two failed miserably. you would think they would've learned from their mistakes. jeez the only truley good addition so far is the euro fighter in georgia. Even Chang at Great Adventure could've been much better

SFA's response - "Some people are SO pessimistic! Lol."

 

 

Either way I'm not getting my hopes up, but I hope something is coming.

The first 2 failed miserably? According to who?

Dark Knight never really "failed". It's just not as well-received as it could've been because of the hype.

 

So far...

 

SFOG

SFGAm

SFGAdv

SFOT

SFMM

 

are all slated for something in 2011. I honestly did not expect SFOG, SFGAm, or SFMM to get anything next year, but it seems that SF's been throwing curveballs left and right. Right now it's only a matter of time before the rest of the parks announce their anniversary addition and SF has said that they would extend anniversary additions to 2012.

 

** Heck... A lot of parks have been throwing curveballs lately. I didn't expect half the parks that are getting new additions next year to get additions. **

SixFlags:

@coasterquazi Sorry man. Still going to be a great season but I haven't heard of anything new coming there for 2011.

On their FB I got the same response....SFA get's the shaft again.Well screw them I'm going to KD as they get new rides on a fair basis.

 

I would like to see PG county sue SFA & SFI for not living up to their promise 11 years ago to improve the park & perhaps see the county take over management/operations as well & turn it into a city run park much like how Glen Echo used to be.

Ugh, keep DC area politics, let alone MD politics out of the park. That would somehow manage to make things a million times worse.

 

 

Whatever, I'll get a Six Flags pass to go to SFGAdv, SFOG, and maybe another park or two next year, but I'm not sure I'll waste my time going to SFA more than once simply for nostalgic reasons to see the park again and think about the good times I had their before they eventually probably close the place when real estate picks back up again.

 

What a massive waste.

Honestly, two mazes, a train ride, and a show or two? I know it's only Six Flags America but even they can do better than this. Most of this event seems geared towards kids, which I find somewhat dissapointing .

^It's more than before. I'm not sure that there was a maze last year, with the loss of Brutal Planet and the burning down of the haunted house next to Roar. And they must've upgraded the train ride - last time I rode it during Fright Fest, it only stopped back in the woods and then kept moving.

 

At least they're heading in the right direction...it's just taking a while to get there.

I wouldn't feel safe at SFA at night. I didn't feel safe there during the day, let alone at night. Plus I'd rather spend time at KD's Haunt since I know that's good.

 

I agree,KD's haunt is many times better....plus their ride lineup outdoes SFA's any day.

Do you come here just to express your hate for SFA? Both of the parks have very good coasters, you don't have to constantly remind us of your extreme inner hatred for SFA. I think we got it the first few hundred times you said it.
